Day 23
Quote: Good ideas rarely interrupt you.
I’m having so much fun with level 3. I love the jump squats. I can do 3 man pushups, which won’t amaze some people, but in my entire left I’ve never been able to do even one! So it’s a major accomplishment for me. But I’m busy so just a quick update.

Ferocity
Day 18
Quote: You can grow as high as you can reach.
Today’s workout was amazingly intense. But I loved it. I was sweating, I worked hard, pushed through and tried my hardest not to stop. I think I stopped half as many times as I did yesterday, and yesterday I stopped quite a bit. I’m getting better with the walking push-ups, and I just look back to level 1 when I could barely get through the first set of jumping jacks and jumping rope. Especially the jumping rope. It killed me! Now I can go the whole way without stopping. I’m loving it. I can’t wait until I can do like 5 man pushups. I not only aim to lose weight, but I want to be IN SHAPE. I want to be STRONG. I don’t want to be a typical girl, with no strength. I want people to be able to look at me and see a strong woman. I know how strong I am on the inside, and what I have been through in life, and I want my inner personality to exude on the outside. I want to be fierce. I can’t wait until 90 days have passed and I look back on the day that I started, and just smile because of how far I have come. I’ve made it this far, and I know I will make it to 90 days, and beyond. This is not only losing weight, but changing my lifestyle, my eating habits, and so much more. There are few things in my life that I have stuck to and committed, especially not for a long time, and that is such an inspiration for me to stick with this.

Here I am
Day 17
Quote: There is a time to let things happen, and a time to make things happen.
Boy do I love this quote book. I find a perfect quote to relate to every mood that I’m in. But I feel like I haven’t shredded in forever! Maybe because I took a day off, and didn’t stick with it everyday. I really put my all into it, but I did stop quite a lot. But holy crap! She kicks butt! My right knee is aching a little bit, but I think it will wear off during the day. I’m taking my measurements today as well, can’t wait to see if I’ve lost anything yet. I’ve noticed I can hold the plank now! I didn’t have to stop because my arms were tired, and I was able to do push-ups with the walking pushups or whatever she calls them. I didn’t go the whole way down, but over halfway! I’m so happy to feel myself getting stronger. Still, the v raise or whatever she called them, when you do the chair squat kill me. I don’t know why the front raises are the hardest for me. I hope to improve this. I’m almost scared to start level 3! I hope I can do it. I can’t wait to start all over. I want to see great results. I bought a red highlight kit, and a blonde highlight kit, and I told myself if I can lose 10 lbs I will do the highlights, but I’ve already lost 5, so I’m aiming for 15 lbs then I’ll do it. Although I heard the the red bleaches your hair, which I guess doesn’t matter if I’m doing blonde highlights lol.

My knees are back!
Day 16
Quote: The only limits to the mind are those we believe in.
I didn’t get to work out today, because a lot of stuff was going on today. My fiance and I weren’t getting along very well, and the day was just filled with a lot of stress. I know you guys are tired of hearing those words. Haha. But I promise you the next time around, I am giving it my all. If I take a day off, it will be because I am ill. I promise you! I’m tired of making excuses, I want results! And they’re not going to come without some effort. I found some woman on www.slimdownwithsara.com, and she was a huge inspiration to me. She had a baby, and she had stretch marks just like I do, and at the beginning she had her baby weight, and at the end she looked FIT! I want to look just like her, and without me doing the work, it’s never going to happen.

Still losing!
Day 15
Quote: Your altitude is measured by your attitude.
I woke up this morning, weighed myself, and I’ve lost yet ANOTHER pound. I’m psyched. I can’t believe this. How does this even make sense? I stop working out and I lose weight? Where does this come from? Yet, I’m feeling a little discouraged because I just feel how hard it is to workout like this everyday, and I see the minimal weight loss, and I’m still not fitting into any clothes, and I see the amount of fat and skin around my stomach and think “I’m never going to lose this!” It is so discouraging. This morning when I woke up, my knees were feeling 100%. By the end of the workout they were feeling 10% But as the day wore on, they started feeling better. Let’s hope that tomorrow they feel better. I binged with my night time snack. I just couldn’t help myself. I ate like 20 crackers, 1 bagel with nutella and 2 mini philly cheese steaks. :/ But I guess I’m only human, and compared to most people I’m doing fantastic, because 15 days of eating healthy, and no binging, I think I deserve it!

Weight loss! Finally!
Day 14
Quote: Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you sow.
And the funny part is, I quit working out for two days straight, and finally see my weight go down. I did 40 crunches, 23 pushups and 40 um...buttlifts....lol. Idk how else to describe it. You lay on your back on the floor, bend your knees and push one foot up to the ceiling, with the other leg you lift yourself up, therefore lifting your butt! haha. Today we went to Olive Garden with my sister. And I feel like I have a clogged milk duct. :/ But, that’s off track, although I’ve been trying to heal it by nursing my son a whole lot. Anyway, I don’t have much to say.
Weight: 186.0

Optimism
Day 13
Quote: Everyone who got where he is has had to begin where he was.
Although this is a 90 day challenge, I’m not going to get down on myself for having to skip a few days because of my knees. Now, I don’t encourage you to do the same if you have no reason to, but I have a logical reason to do so. If you have no injuries, you are capable of working HARD EVERYDAY to lose your weight. Don’t take my lack of daily commitment as an excuse for YOU to not achieve your goals. You can do it! If I didn’t have my knee injury, i sure as hell would be busting my ass everyday, probably multiples times a day. But I don’t have that option right now. Although, I believe my knees are getting better. I still need to baby them, but when the pain began, it was only in my left knee and now it’s both knees. The thing is, my left knee isn’t the big issue, my right knee is. So once my right knee pain starts waning I think I will have healed then. *fingers crossed* I may still do some stuff today, such as push-ups and the plank position, because that is KILLER! I can’t hold myself up for like longer than 15 seconds. I can’t wait to get stronger, to be a success. I know once I can devote every single day, my strength will increase tenfold. But, anyway. Gonna go wake baby from nap. Also, the lack of excessive calories really seemed to help! I lost a pound! Finally things are turning around for me :)
Weight: 188.2
Meals
Breakfast
Cheerios 1 % Milk

1 hard boiled egg, 2 tbsp vanilla yogurt, 1 cheese stick
